Cessna 182RG Evening Circuits

[FlyingKiwi]

Some more from me, this is Carenado's C182RG. I wasn't planning on taking any screenshots, just doing a few circuits to get a feel for the aircraft, but the lighting was quite impressive so I ended up taking a few anyway. They were taken on a couple of different laps of the circuit which is why they may appear to be slightly out of order.





















All the light textures, clouds etc. are default FSX.

great set up you've got there - some truly fantastic shots!

Yeah, neat shots with lots of atmosphere....

I wonder if you have the same landing issues with this plane as I do. I like to the fly the one with the Coastguard livery, however struggle
with landing. It doesn't seem to have a stalling speed and throttling back on approach, lifting the nose up etc., doesn't seem to make a lot
of difference. It's like the plane weighs a ton and needs air brakes. Obviously I am aware of the flaps but shouldn't have to deploy them at 140
knots.

This seems to be a Carenado problem for me. For example the Piper Cherokee (Flight One) handles perfectly.

Very nice shots.

Thanks guys. Bazza, I can't say I've found it totally unreasonably difficult to land, although I agree it's not overly easy to slow down. I think this is a real 182 characteristic though. The first few times I landed it I was coming in much too flat and landing more or less 3-point. It seems using the default viewpoint height you really have to haul the nose up quite a bit in the flare to land on the mains.

Ok, thanks for that, probably me forgetting it's not a 152....
